How does it attach to cab ? I'll look at website for details. Checked them out but they need a cab edge to clamp onto. My cabs have the grills flush mounted to the cab so nothing to clamp onto. I could use them with my current amp rack but i'm expecting a new Mesa TT800 amp that wont be rack mounted. Dave

That might work

Small cozy venue tonight with the punk covers band. Played there about 2mths ago. Wasn't very busy when we started of but punters just kept coming in and halfway thru first set it got to a decent wee crowd. Lot of singing along too. Singer is just recovering from Covid 2-3 weeks ago and is struggling for breath so the audience were helping us out i reckon. The band have a good wee following in this venue so that always helps. Went really well with lots of great feedback especially the bass compliments from several people. Aparently i nailed every song and one guy said i did a fantastic job on Eddie & Hot Rods song Do Anything You Wanna Do. He's a fan of them and reckoned i got it spot on. He also asked if i was a Geddy fan as i had a similar style and tone which was a very well received comment. Seemed to be a few bass players in the audience tonight as i was getting comments about my playing and bass gear. Few mates from way back came along for a listen and they were very impressed and commented on FB page that it was a cracking gig. I was even asked to give a young lady a hug. I did oblige solely for the PR of course. No pics or vids as yet but will post if i get any. Had to stop of for a kebab and pakora on way home at midnight as nothing to eat since 3pm. All in all i'm going to bed very happy with todays job. Dave

Dont fancy putting screws into my Mesa cabs like that. Something like this. The elbow sits over the edge of your cab and the strap attaches somewhere either on your cab handle on the top of the cab/amp or to the other side of the cab handle. Other options might be an adjustable plastic clamp to suit cab width or depth ? This is the company i found but they dont make them anymore. Dave

Really looking for something that will take the weight of the bass as i dont like standing my bass on the strap locks. The ones i'm thinking off must attach to the top of the cab somehow and sit at the edge of the cab with the hook for the bass. Off to a gig now but will see if i can find a pic of what i'm thinking off. I came across one but they dont make them anymore. Dave

Does anyone use amp mounted bass hangers. Was thinking of getting one to save taking up a lot of floor space with normal bass stands. Cant seem to find any. What i had in my head was one that hangs across the top of my cabs but below my amp if that makes sense. Dave

That's a handy tip to know as i usually like to keep as active as possible when i have a flu like illness as i feel it helps keep my lungs clearer. Dave

Half an hour into my drive home the adrenaline has gone and i just feel sleepy. 😂 Dave

Got a punk gig tomorrow night. Not sure how its gonna go as our singer got hit quite bad with Covid few weeks ago and she's getting out of breath quite quickly. She still wants to do the gig but will be taking it easy with no jumping about like she normally does. Lucky enough that its a small venue usually filled with followers of the band so that should help make it a bit easier for her. Audience participation will be required LOL Dave

I like that. Dave

Now that's a late night gig. I've never heard of that before. Personally its a bit too late for me, i'd be falling asleep during it but that's an age thing. 😂 They do the same in Glasgow area with the motorways shut down completely after 11pm on a Sat for repairs. Some of the detours have taken me an hour just to get back on the motorway again. A journey that normally takes me an hour to get home takes me 2 hrs. Dave

Enjoy and have fun. Sounds like it could be a great night. Dave

I think i'm already at that point after 4 yrs with the band 🤣 My problem is i like to learn a cover song as close to the original as possible and tend to write out the bass line note for note. Dave

I hear good things about some of the HB basses. Certainly great value for money. Dave

That could present a few problems later in the evening. Dave

Paid rehearsal is how i view some gigs. Dave

Still No Name is a good name for a band. 😂 Dave

Nice bass, nice tone. What is it ? cant make out the headstock. Dave

I've always been under the impression it was his finger nail but you never know. Dave

Always nice when you see a pro bassist playing a song same as you do (Waterloo) Great tone from that bass. Dave

Not sure if this was deliberate Rob but Geddy has a different bass in the pics for the last 4 Rush songs you've posted Yes i'm a saddo that notices these things Dave 😂

Definitely !!! Who are these people and what an odd thing to set up. Still.....if everyone was happy then all good. Dave
